Trump says Super Pac will pay for taxpayer-funded ads that sparked outcry

What happened: Trump said he would pay for taxpayer-funded pro-Trump ads "with money I raised for MAGA, Inc." after the spots drew backlash. The White House said Maga Inc would fund such ads in future. Key numbers: Ads cost at least $1.5m in federal funds; AdImpact tracked at least $1.4m by end of September; Maga Inc had over $400m by end of July. Why it matters: Leaders from both parties criticized the taxpayer funding, and two Democrats asked watchdogs to investigate. Senator Adam Schiff demanded proof the spending stopped and that money is repaid.
